Summary

Dennis Prager joins PragerU CEO Marissa Streit to discuss the collapse of California, whether Los Angeles can be saved, and how the Red-Green Alliance between communists and Islamists is attacking the West from within. Dennis also reflects on his own health battle to explain why despair is a sin and why perseverance is the only moral option. They close with a candid conversation about the left's war on beauty and what it means when mediocrity gets rewarded and excellence gets erased.
